[how to] Treat a Car Battery


A friend complained when the car will replace the battery because the expensive price. My friend grumbles because the age of the car battery has not been a year already and should replace with the new battery because the old one is can not used again.

"This is due to battery care less, so the age is very short," he said with a tone of sorts, Saturday (3 / 1).

So, before the battery broken, its better to follow these tips below, if you does not want to lose money about 100 dollar, to a Yuasa battery plus water battery.

This is the step by step to battery treatment you can do:

1. Watch the quantity and quality of the water battery. Battery water is always awake in the line between low-level and upper level of the ordinary listed on the battery box. When you are under the low level immediately add. Because the water battery work to help cool down the battery cells. When the battery water is reduced and the water is not immediately added, cells in the battery can be changed shape (curve, these cells should in parallel and perpendicular). Flection cells can create positive and negative plate brush, which eventually trigger shortcut. Shortcut will not able to make a save battery electricity.

2. Check on the battery terminals. Check whether or not corrosion occurs. Corrosion can be cleaned with a pour hot water on the terminals. See also positive and negative cables. May be lax or loose. Corrosion and cable slack make the electric power flow weak. So, the current electricity that flows to the motor starter not strong enough to play the machines. Give grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion.

3. Turn off the first electrical components before the engine shut off.

4. If the car is not used in a long time, dislodged the negative terminal in the electric battery if not its continuously sucked. (For Peugeot car, dislodged should be done by mechanics).

Remember, endurance and strength of the battery is affected by its treatment. Typically, in a one-year battery problems have started, for example, not able to save more tension for a long time. With good treatment, the battery endurance can be more than one year.
